🗑
insulin underproduction   diabetes mellitus  
🗑

🗑
growth hormone function   stimulates muscle and bone development  
🗑
growth hormone underproduction   dwarfism  
🗑
growth hormone overproduction   acromegaly; gigantism  
🗑
antidiuretic hormone function   reabsorption of water at the kidneys and increases blood pressure; when serum sodium is elevated, ADH is secreted to dilute sodium
